Limited traffic will be allowed on State Highway 133 south of McClure Pass Wednesday after the highway was closed Sunday after a heavy rock slide.

Starting at 7 a.m. Wednesday, single, alternative lane traffic will be allowed through the day until possibly 7 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. This while crews blast and haul away rock that slide onto the highway on Sunday morning.

Motorists, however, could face up to a two-hour delay depending on when they arrive at that section of the highway, CDOT said.

On Thursday, blasting and rock hauling should continue with the hope that the work will be done by Friday, CDOT said.
